Is there an easy-to-use tool to generate a HTML-snippet incl. License that can be embedded into a webpage !? In Germany users are pursued for copyright infringment because they dont know how to use licenses correctly. An easy-to-use embedding function along the lines of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Attribution_Generator would be very helpful ?? Dostl ba (talk) 13:40, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

I just got credited on IT World for a Wikipedia image. Unfortunately, I am not the author of the image, just the person who uploaded it, after obtaining permission. I think this guideline ought to make clear the difference between uploaders and authors, and how to find the later. Also in the section on getting further permission, there ought to be a mention that files which were obtained from other sites, such as Flickr, typically have a link to the source. --agr (talk) 15:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

from: Content in the public domain has no legal requirement of attribution at all.

to__: Content in the public domain has no strict legal requirement of attribution.

as, though it may legally not necessary to credit the author, it is ethically appropriate to do so.
In addition, I am not totally sure that outside of the US it is really legal/o.k. not to credit/mention the creator (if known) of a work considered to be or given into the public domain. I think that this might not be legal in Germany due to the strong bond between the work and its creator in the copyright law of Germany. --Túrelio (talk) 13:33, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

I was actually thinking something similar. How about

Content in the public domain may not have a strict legal requirement of attribution (depending on the jurisdiction of content reuse), but for ethical reasons attribution is recommended.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but i can't seem to find a better forum for the question: Is there a way for me, as an editor to request permission from a graphic license holder, and then load that permission and graphic into OTRS/WikiCommons, or does the whole process need to be initiated by the license holder?

CJEU: Under EU law, you are not liable for embedding or framing a video or image from another website[edit]

If the latter is accessible to the general public.

If and to the extent that this work is freely accessible on the website to which the internet link points, the assumption must be made that the holders of the copyright have, when they permitted this communication, considered all internet users as the public.

Quoted from [1]. Not that we're going to embed YouTube videos, but nice to know. --Nemo 10:56, 22 November 2014 (UTC) is original Karmus interresting? I dont know if its zwittert

{{edit request}} The article includes the phrase "On Wikimedia Commons are almost all images and other media under some kind of free license" which is not good English. The word "are" needs to be moved, or the sentence needs to be rewritten. It should say "On Wikimedia Commons almost all images and other media are under some kind of free license". Alternatively "Almost all images and other media on Wikimedia Commons are under some kind of free license" would also work and I would prefer it, but either way. Thanks.

On Wikimedia Commons nearly all images and media hold some type of free license.

Please replace the period after the phrase "and finally" in this Project Page. It is not grammatically correct to have a period there. Either replace the period with a comma, or remove the period altogether. Mercy11 (talk) 03:10, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
